> You must eat 1g of protein per pound of body weight.
So many innfluencers are repeating this advice, but I have a funny question...
Who the fuck is this advice for? It cannot be for Europeans, and It cannot be for Americans either, unless they take drugs I guess.
@dcc@annihilation.social
The ideal target demo is newbies trying to get their new gains, maintain the muscles gains, and lose proportional fat quantities.
Not bad advise overall, but there's also the way they push an emphasis to get bigger and bigger, as is the culture of the industry in America. Sustainment and longevity aren't emphasized even if they are given lip-service
@gin-nigr
My point was the awful measurement unit disparity.

@Hyperhidrosis @LukeAlmighty that's what i'm saying man, i'm struggling to get to 100. like am i supposed to just be doing nothing but drinking protein shakes all day or what? xD
i increased my protein intake from what i was doing previously and i'm allocating funds to it so that's good enough for me at this point.
@LukeAlmighty I think 1g per pound is definitely if you are doing significant training and already pretty muscular, for average guy going to gym it's more like 0.7g per pound.
Also yeah Americans know grams for nutrients, it's on our packages, never ever seen oz for that.
